There's a rumor circulating around the wild wild web right now that says Square Enix may not be looking to offer Kingdom of Hearts: Birth by Sleep via digital distribution on PSN, possibly adding insult to injury for all PSP Go owners out there. The rumor originated from Twitter user Magunus, who apparently attended a recent PlayStation event in Japan (we can't figure out which event this is referring to, and there's no mention on the official Japanese blog) where a clerk confirmed it, citing "copyright issues."
This strikes us as odd not only because of the tenuous nature by which this has been reported, but because a lot of Disney Interactive's titles have been made available via digital distribution in the past. We've contacted both Square Enix and Disney Interactive about this and will be sure to let you know what we hear back.

Can you let us know asap? I recently bought a Go, and between this and the LBP fiasco I am seriously considering returning it (thank you BB 30-day return policy!). I had a PSP-3000 but couldn't tolerate the screen interlacing issues. I love the look and feel of the Go, and I love the idea of a completely digital system, but if Sony is unable / unwilling to support it, then I should probably jump ship while I still can.

I actually feel a powerful need to sound like a broken record.
It's some sort of compulsion.

This seems really unlikely being that SE was really concerned as to whether or not it would even fit on a UMD a couple of months ago.

We're in 2009. I like to carry light. A carrying case with a UMD collection is a LOT more inconveniant than just having the games on a large pro-duo.
I wanna play Dissidia, I just need to turn on my PSP. LBP, same deal! It needs to be hassle free.

Sony .. If you are somewhere out there, read this,
PLEASE RELEASE KINGDOM HEARTS DIGITALLY. EVEN IF ITS BIG.
Heck, look at Dissidia. It took about 1 GB
So please, do something to release it on PSS in the US / EU / JP
